@dieworkwear Why is it that I feel not taking off a baseball cap is more disrespectful than not wearing a suit?

Respectability in dress is stupid bc it masks the issue. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes, but rather about the bodies underneath. Would Trump and Vance acted politely if Zylenskyy showed up in a suit? Unlikely. No one raised an issue with Elon in t-shirt and topcoat.

Russian State Media (TASS) was in the meeting. AP and Reuters were not. Get it yet?

There can be debate over who were the losers in that terrible encounter. But there’s only one winner - and that’s Putin, as this revolting message from his closest ally makes clear

Her face is all our faces. The face of radio! 📻

Here's what happened inside the White House after the Oval Office shouting match: Trump huddled with his key advisers immediately afterward inside the Oval. According to a White House official, Trump consulted Vance, Rubio, Bessent, etc. That was when Trump decided that Zelensky was "not in a place to negotiate." He directed Secretary Rubio and his national security adviser Mike Waltz to deliver the message: it was time for Zelensky to leave. The Ukrainians were holding nearby in a separate room. (That's standard for foreign leader visits.) Typically they reconvene for lunch. But the Ukrainians would not be dining at the White House. As the prepared food sat nearby on carts in a hallway, the Ukrainians were instructed to leave. The White House official said the Ukrainians wanted to continue the talks. But they were told no. Zelensky left shortly thereafter.

@OwensRoz I’m just dumbfounded that such people are in such positions of power.

Jeez, that they think YZ was disrespectful! 🤦‍♀️

"People with low incomes just can't cope." Dame Clare Moriarty, CEO of Citizens Advice, tells #R4Today they are 'very worried' about the rise in energy bills, saying the choices being made by families to afford bills compare to a 'Dickensian' struggle.

I’m speechless. This is just disgusting.

Donald Trump. An Apology. The new Private Eye is out now

@Jason__Watkins Noooo, just when it was getting into its stride!

I’ve known about this for months. We are dumfounded and devastated. I still can’t find the words. And technically, we were not ‘cancelled’. Our viewing numbers were better than shows around us. Enjoy these - more to follow. Thank you for loving the show!! #McDonaldAndDodds

@ian_corkin @hwallop 🤣🤣🤣

@hwallop I thought Benson-Goring was a proposed bypass in South Oxfordshire?

Times births column today. Too many good ‘uns to choose just one.

11 January 1968. Daily Mirror reported that rock guitar legend Jimi Hendrix had moved into the London house on 25 Brook Street, next door to where the classical composer, George Handel, had once lived and composed The Messiah.

Today I told the "why is six afraid of seven" joke to a class of first graders who had either never heard it, or just suddenly understood it. Three kids literally fell out of their chairs and rolled on the floor. Apex moment, never topping it.

Andrew Norfolk, the retired reporter who uncovered the grooming scandal in Rotherham, has spoken to @thetimes to “put the record straight” about Elon Musk’s wild claims about the PM's time as director of public prosecutions. “It was Starmer who changed the rules to make more prosecutions possible. That happened and there was a huge increase in convictions.” He also told @TheNewsAgents: "These girls are being exploited all over again. Politicians jumping on the bandwagon after years of silence is shameful".

@holland_tom @TheRestHistory Yay! The RAH experience was fab - you both really looked like you were enjoying yourselves. #RestIsHistory #supportlivemusic

Tomorrow on @TheRestHistory - MOZART!

Genuinely howling at the fact that Wallace and Gromit are doing an excellent job at explaining the basics of the ethics of AI. It’s all fun and games until a silent villainous penguin in a rubber glove hijacks your smart gnome and I think we can all learn a lot from that.
